It seem Woody ain't thinking too clearly. He is running some of the players in the ground. Every team we play one of thier players have a record performance. The defense Woody is talking about I don't see. I hope we don't see another game where we end up behind in the first quarter. I was all for Woody in the begining but now I just don't know. I see this as not being a defensive team. He is doing the same things that got him fired in Atlanta.
i HAD these concerns about woodson early on, but heck what do I know, I only sat front row for many of his games here in atlanta watching him lose his team as the years went by.... anyway, there is a good reason why he isn't starting amare... both amare and carmelo command the same space on the floor... it just does not work.... and carmelo isn't coming off the bench.. not as long as dolan is alive...

Hey I see your concerns but they were starting to play better together. We should give it a try. I think that Woody is Stubborn and he is set in his ways. I can count 4 games that we didn't have to loose if Woody did the right thing by making the right coaching choices.
No, it isn't.
Amare is cool like that.
(Bootleg alert)
Would you be so adamant when Amares knees start to bark in April?
We already have one warrior slowed due to wear and tear.
“(Carmelo) asked me to come out of the game before he actually took that spill. It made me realize something wasn’t right. He’s never ever, ever wanted to come out of a game. I’ve played him too much. Melo is a trooper, warrior and tough kid.” - Mike Woodson
You really want to risk a second?

someone mentioned sitting chandler and starting amare... maybe not a bad idea, it would be better if we had sheed who I think fits better with both carmelo and amare on the floor at the same time...
It's not about who starts. It's about who plays the most minutes.
Amare has been absent the last two years from the playoffs because of injury..How about we play it slow and not run the guy into the ground before the playoffs...Lets make sure his knee is strong again before we play him 40 mins per...Easy does it...
It's time for fans to stop caring so much about regular season mpg
As long as the knicks dont put themselves in a hole every 1st quarter starting White
What he said
“I’m very comfortable and confident in my offensive game right now,’’ Stoudemire said. “I put it in so much work in offseason and practice. It’s becoming pretty easy for me.’’
What he did not say
"I'm highly offended that I'm not starting and I demand a trade to a playoff contender or else I'll sulk and give only a partial effort"
It's time for people to realize that a professional athelete who shadowboxes with metal and glass things should leave the coaching to those who can.
Players play. Coaches coach. Owners own.
Stat: yo, Coach! I need to start! I need to finish! Didn't you hear? The Knicks are BACK!
Woodson: Sit down, Amare. Be careful while doing that too.
Stat: You just can't be starting KT over me. It's embarrassing and it annoys the intellectual elites on UK!
Woodson: Let me explain something son. You get paid 100 million to put the little ball in the round thing. I get paid a few million to figure out which of you get to do what for how long. Let's leave it at that, can we?
Stat: But I just thought, that since...Melo's out...and that...it would...
Woodson: Hey, Stat, look! Something shiny over there! Here, have a Powerade.
Stat: Thanks, coach!
